A library activists group will meet on Tuesday from 7-9 p.m. in the eighth floor boardroom of the main library in downtown Fort Lauderdale, 100 S. Andrews Ave.

It will be the first organizational meeting for the Coalition for Better Leadership for Broward County Libraries, being formed by Dr. Edward Reininger, a retired physiologist in Hallandale and an outspoken critic of the main library's reorganization.

Reininger has opposed moving the children's books from the first to the seventh floor and also the plan to move the library's fine arts collections from the sixth floor to other locations in the building.

``There's no oversight of the library now,'' Reininger said. ``The library has an advisory board that just rubber-stamps the director's decisions.''
